Multiple DHCP IP's on WAN
-
Hello everyone,
I am looking for some creative ways to pull this off…
I have an ISP that will allow me to have 2 IP addresses, but only if i DHCP request both of them. I am hoping there is some "creative" solution that would allow PFsense to request an additional IP using a virtual interface of some type so that it will hold the lease and i can use it for port forwards similarly to if I were setting up a bunch of statics..

It's not possible through the GUI.
You "could" buy a cheap NAT router and put it in front of a second interface (or the LAN).Alternatively you can hack yourself some alias-type VIP's. But thats not supported.
Or just look that you can get those IP's static ;)
Then you can use PARP or CARP VIPs :) -
It would look like this:
----nat-router----OPT1 / pfSense LAN ----- clients/server ISP-Link----- switch -------------------WAN
